How to register
Most Karachi dealers handle registration for you. Ask whether it's included in the price, and get the receipt. If you register yourself, bring the documents Sindh Excise and Taxation currently asks for (typically CNIC copy, sales invoice and dealer certificate — confirm before you go).
What happens after May 2028?
The relief ends on 29 May 2028 unless Sindh extends it. Sindh hasn't said what changes after that date. We'll update this page as soon as it does.
